The Birthday Card
We don’t see the world the way it is. We see the world the way we are. The other day, my dad turned 82. He’s been both my biggest blessing and my deepest pain. I find that this is the way things go… if we would be so brave as to look Fear right inContinue reading “The Birthday Card”

Where’s The Peace?
Life comes from you and reflects back to you. The other day I was experiencing a bit of a rough patch. Emotionally, high-low and feeling so raw; mentally, the dryer called my brain wouldn’t stop tumbling; physically, I ached into the marrow of my bones. I mean, sheeeesh.
